Restless I rise, formless I fall
I am ugly and I make you cry
Your dams I break, your floods I stall
I am faceless... I'm the morning sky
Your friend in the dark, your foe before
I am a cherub you fail to hate
Your fire on the rocks, your moon on the shore
I am a nimbus... forever pregnant in state
Your canvas to colour, your tumbler to fill
I am a riddle you live and breathe
Your Sirius, your sun, your distant hill
I am vapor... and I never cease to seethe
Formless I fall, restless I rise
I am a djinn who drags you by
Your slave and your master, your constant guise
Wonder, say, whoever am I?
